Almost time for BBL. Is it OK that my cholesterol came back high?

Question

Surgery time on 01/13. I'm nervous but excited and then my cholesterol came back high :/ so I'm waiting for him to see what he recommends? I been waiting for this and scared I might have to RS, I'm flying from the Bay Area to GDL alone as well :/ . Any tips or advice ?

Kenneth Hughes, MD · Answer

The key is the optimization of all the medical issues before surgery. Doctors use risk-stratification tools (your age, your cholesterol level, and your blood pressure) and calculate what your risk is of having a heart attack or stroke during surgery. They will then tell you if modifications to your diet, exercise, or medications can reduce a "high" bad cholesterol reading. If the risks are considered too high, your surgeon will ask you to reschedule. Otherwise, enjoy your stay in Guadalajara, Mexico.

Dear warriors925,
every plastic surgeon has his own preoperative protocol which he recommends to his patients. I would suggest you to discuss this with your plastic surgeon.
